Chiefs vs. Saints Week 5: How to watch, listen and stream

Check out everything you need to know to tune into the #Chiefs’ Week 5 matchup against the #Saints on “Monday Night Football”

The Kansas City Chiefs return to Arrowhead this week to face the New Orleans Saints on “Monday Night Football.”

Rashee Rice’s injury in Week 4 remains the biggest storyline for Kansas City heading into the Chiefs’ matchup against New Orleans.

With Rice out, other members of Kansas City’s receiving corps, especially rookie wideout Xavier Worthy, will have to step up to fill the void for Patrick Mahomes in the passing game.

Despite their 2-2 record, the Saints, led by former Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr, look like one of the NFC’s most explosive teams. Former Chiefs defensive back Tyrann Mathieu will be patrolling New Orleans’ secondary, and Kansas City will need to be aware of his presence on passing plays.

Expect running back Kareem Hunt to see lots of action on Monday night as the Chiefs look to remain undefeated.

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes reflects on Rashee Rice’s injury: ‘I was the one that hit him’

Kansas City #Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes reflects on Rashee Rice’s injury: ‘I was the one that hit him’ | @EdEastonJr

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes holds his teammates to high standards and respects their contributions to victories. He takes it hard when a teammate gets injured, especially if he accidentally becomes involved in the situation.

Mahomes spoke with reporters on Thursday about his thoughts on Rashee Rice’s injury following an interception in last Sunday’s game. The Pro Bowl quarterback accidentally hit his teammate’s knee while trying to make a tackle.

“I didn’t notice it at the moment; I was more worried about trying to get the ball, but obviously, I was just trying to make a play, and it happens whenever you’re trying to make tackles.”

After the injury in Los Angeles, Rice was carted off the field and immediately ruled out the rest of the game.

“When I saw the replay, I felt like sh** that I hit Rashee; I think that’s pretty much all I mean; I wasn’t worried about myself,” said Mahomes. “I was worried about, hopefully, his injury and hoping it wasn’t as bad as it looked because I was the one that hit him.”

Mahomes will miss Rice’s production for however long he’s out of the lineup, but he has faith in the team’s coaching staff and depth at wide receiver.

“Rashee (Rice) is a huge part of the game plan; you have to throw guys in there and make that timing up. Coach (Andy Reid) tries to get that done in practice,” said Mahomes. “He tries to throw guys in certain situations. But obviously, there’s limited reps. But I thought the guys did a great job accepting the challenge and being there in those moments.”

Rice was placed on injured reserve on Thursday, holding him out at least the next four games.

Chiefs place WR Rashee Rice on injured reserve list

The #Chiefs placed star WR Rashee Rice on their injured reserve list after he was hurt in Kansas City’s Week 4 win over the #Chargers.

The Kansas City Chiefs have officially placed star wide receiver Rashee Rice on their injured reserve list after he hurt his knee against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 4.

Rice, who was among the NFL’s most prolific pass catchers through the first three games of the regular season, will be inactive for at least four games but could return later in the season if his injury proves to be less severe than expected.

Kansas City hasn’t yet made any moves in response to Rice’s injury, but there has been speculation about the Chiefs’ intention to make a deal for another receiver ahead of the NFL’s trade deadline on November 5.

On Thursday, head coach Andy Reid told reporters that Kansas City’s training staff was waiting for the swelling in Rice’s knee to subside before they conducted further tests to determine the nature of the receiver’s injury.

Expect the Chiefs to add a player to their 53-man roster before their Week 5 matchup against the New Orleans Saints on “Monday Night Football.’

Kansas City Chiefs place Rashee Rice on IR

The Chiefs will be without Rashee Rice for at least four weeks

The Kansas City Chiefs will be without star wide receiver Rashee Rice for at least four weeks after placing him on IR on Thursday.

Rice was injured in Sunday’s win over the Los Angeles Chargers. Patrick Mahomes threw an interception and in an attempt to tackle the Charger returning the pick collided with Rice’s knee during the ensuing fumble.

“When I saw the replay, I felt like s— that I hit Rashee,” Mahomes said Thursday. “I wasn’t really worried about myself. I was worried about his injury and hopefully that it wasn’t as bad as it looked. I was the one that hit him.

“I didn’t notice it in the moment. I was more worried about trying to get the ball. Obviously, he’s just trying to make a play, and it happens whenever you’re trying to make tackles.”

Report: Chiefs WR Rashee Rice ‘walking about normally’ amid injury concerns

According to a report, #Chiefs WR Rashee Rice was seen “walking about normally” in Kansas City’s locker room on Thursday.

The Kansas City Chiefs still haven’t revealed key details about the knee injury that wide receiver Rashee Rice sustained in the defending champions’ win over the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday.

While Chiefs head coach Andy Reid has made it clear that Kansas City is monitoring Rice, and that an update will be provided when the team is certain of his status, one member of the media had some good news to report on Thursday.

Pete Sweeney, Editor-in-Chief of Arrowhead Pride, told his followers on Twitter that he saw Rice “walking about normally” in Kansas City’s locker room this afternoon, and indicated that the star pass catcher was not in crutches.

Though Sweeney’s observation hardly indicates that Rice’s injury isn’t severe, it does bode well for the Chiefs that he can walk without assistance.

Stay tuned to see if Kansas City makes any further announcements about Rice’s injury status ahead of the Chiefs’ Week 5 matchup against the New Orleans Saints on “Monday Night Football.”

Chiefs HC Andy Reid comments on Rashee Rice’s injury: ‘We’re getting the swelling out of his knee’

During a press conference on Thursday, Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid gave the latest update on wide receiver Rashee Rice’s knee injury.

“As far as the guys not practicing today, Rashee is really the only one,” said Reid. “Rashee’s situation is we’re getting the swelling out of his knee, and then he’s got further tests next week. So (I) really don’t have anything to tell you. From there, we’ll see how these tests go next week and once the swelling is down there.”

Rice was hurt in the first quarter of last Sunday’s win over the Los Angeles Chargers, and many analysts suspected that he had torn an ACL. The team has yet to release an official ruling on his injury, as Reid continued to explain and give his thoughts on the matter.

“I think it’s just wait and see just is where we’re at. For his sake, we’re really hoping that things work out for the best, but let’s just see where it goes and leave it up to the doctors to see. I’m definitely not a doctor.”

Rice will likely miss significant time this season, so the Chiefs are focused on building their current receiver core. The optimism remains that he could make his return before the end of the season.

Chiefs WR Rashee Rice made a cryptic Instagram post after injury vs. Chargers

#Chiefs WR Rashee Rice made a cryptic post to Instagram on Wednesday after sustaining an injury against the #Chargers over the weekend.

The questions surrounding Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice’s injury status remain unanswered, and the star pass catcher added fuel to the fire of uncertainty with a cryptic post to one of his social media accounts.

Chiefs head coach Andy Reid told the media this week that Rice was still undergoing tests on his knee, and fans in Kansas City are hoping that the former SMU product’s injury isn’t as devastating as initially thought.

On Wednesday, Rice posted this photo to Instagram, which led some users to wonder if it might be a sign that he could be back in action sooner than expected:

Though Rice has already been ruled out for the Chiefs’ Week 5 matchup against the New Orleans Saints on “Monday Night Football,” it remains unclear whether he will return to the field in 2024.

Stay tuned to see if this Instagram post was related to the injury, or just something that Rice wanted to share with his fans.

Could Chiefs be suitors in potential trade for Raiders WR Davante Adams?

According to NFL insider Ian Rapoport, Raiders WR Davante Adams says he wants to be traded. Could the #Chiefs look to trade for him?

The Kansas City Chiefs may look to add another receiver after star pass catcher Rashee Rice was injured in the defending Super Bowl champions’ Week 4 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers this weekend.

Though there hasn’t been any indication that the Chiefs intend to sign or trade for another wideout, reports surfaced on Tuesday that All-Pro receiver Davante Adams has asked the Las Vegas Raiders to trade him.

Given the circumstances, Kansas City and Las Vegas could, hypothetically, make unlikely bedfellows in an intra-divisional trade with implications similar to the Chiefs’ acquisition of long-time Raiders running back Marcus Allen in the 1990s.

At this point, Rice’s injury status hasn’t been officially revealed and it remains unclear what move, if any, the Chiefs will make in response to his absence.

Adam’s massive contract would be a major factor in any trade involving him, but teams around the NFL seem to always find a way to resolve cap issues.

Stay tuned to see what the Chiefs decide to do ahead of their Week 5 matchup against the New Orleans Saints on “Sunday Night Football.”

Report: Chiefs GM Brett Veach was not happy about Skyy Moore’s drop vs. Chargers

According to a report from Harold Kuntz of FOX 4 in Kansas City, Chiefs GM Brett Veach was not happy about Skyy Moore’s latest drop.

The Kansas City Chiefs will be without star wide receiver Rashee Rice after a knee injury forced him out of the defending Super Bowl champions’ Week 4 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers.

While Rice is sidelined, the Chiefs will have to rely on veterans Justin Watson, Mecole Hardman, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Skyy Moore, and rookie Xavier Worthy to pick up the slack in the passing game.

Though each of these receivers is expected to have a larger role in Kansas City’s offense with Rice out of action, Moore may have a hard time getting on the field after a poor performance this weekend.

According to a report from FOX 4 sports anchor Harold Kuntz, Chiefs general manager Brett Veach was less than thrilled with Moore after he dropped a pass from Patrick Mahomes in Kansas City’s latest victory.

Check out Kuntz’s report below, which was posted to Twitter by Chiefs Wire legend Robert Rimpson:

Moore is in his third season in Kansas City and has failed to make an impact on the Chiefs’ 2024 campaign.

Through four games, Moore has yet to register a single catch.

Chiefs coaching staff evaluates wide receiver room after four games

Rashee Rice’s knee injury took away the Kansas City Chiefs’ top receiver last Sunday, forcing the coaching staff to look for another player to step into that role.

Chiefs head coach Andy Reid spoke with reporters on Monday via Zoom about the state of several wide receivers on the roster after Rice’s injury. He included rookie standout Xavier Worthy, fresh from his spectacular 54-yard touchdown reception last Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers.

“We’ll see how he does (Worthy). We’ve got guys here who have experience playing the game. It’s not that he’s the only one; he doesn’t have to be the only one.” said Reid. “So, we’ve got a good group of guys there that we can utilize, and we normally spread the ball around, and that’s what we’ll continue to strive to do.”

The Chiefs added JuJu Smith-Schuster to the roster shortly before the start of the regular season, and he’s already contributed with a touchdown reception this season.

“I think he’s (Smith-Schuster) played quite a bit up to this point. And I think he’s in good shape,” said Reid. “Pat’s (Patrick Mahomes) got a lot of trust in him, and he’s still a good football player.

Skyy Moore has been another consistent player this season, although not statistically, and Reid commented on his contributions to the team.

“Sky is a good football player. He’s given us some good downs. He had the one drop yesterday on the third down.” said Reid. “He knows he has to make it, but he’s given us some good downs over these four games. So we’re OK.”

The number of targets for each player may significantly increase over the next few weeks.
